DETROIT, Mich. — Two games in, the San Francisco Giants look good and the Detroit Tigers don’t.

Two games in, we don’t yet have a winner of this World Series, but we already have a loser.

It’s not the Tigers (not yet, anyway).

It’s Moneyball.

If the Giants continue this fun run they’re on, Moneyball loses, because if there’s one team in the game that’s more old school and less Moneyball than anyone else, it’s the Giants.
